LEAVE YOUR LOUD FUCKING OFFSPRING @ HOME!

[Suu]

Mmm, sauce.

[Cain]

Mmm, guinea pigs.

[Darth Cupcake]

We are enigmas shrouded in mystery wrapped in confusion and topped with a sauce of uncertainty.

women should be topped with chocolate sauce. not uncertainty sauce.

when will you ever learn to understand men?!! :-D

What if it's chocolate sauce to go with the uncertainty sauce? Or uncertainty sauce over a layer of whipped cream and topped with a cherry?

Historically speaking of course, all these things just lead to stickiness which leads to an uncomfortable gluing effect...

[Triple Zero]

"historically speaking" (?), if it leads to stickiness leading to uncomfortable gluing effects, you're not doing it properly.

[Darth Cupcake]

I will take your word for it, sir!

Trusting the internets, ITT. Uh oh.

[Mourning Star]

Babies cry. It's good for the lungs.


...3-7 year olds should be chained to their chairs in the event a hostess sees a sign of trashtacular parenting.

In all seriousness though, if my siblings or I ever acted up in a restaurant, my parents would have taken us out to the car, spanked us, waited for us to stop crying, then brought us back in. Luckily, that didn't happen too often. We got the, "stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about" speech, and that was the end of that.

But alas, you can do that that anymore, you'll have social services beating your door down for the kids the same day. It's the fucking fear of getting your kids taken away now that stops parents from doing their jobs imo.

That's a small price to pay, for Mourning Star to get a meal in absolute silence.

Stop hating America.

Are you kidding? My parents used to threaten to just offer us to the state if we acted up.

"Well, since we can't spank you, we'll just give you to HRS and save some time."


...Holy shit. Solutions to life's problems, ITT.

I got the same thing.  I appreciate my parents for properly disciplining me, because it made me stronger.

Meh.  I have a feeling he couldn't get laid in a morgue.

Showing how much he hates kids probably didn't help his case.

Apparently you missed the part where I said I don't dislike children, but parents who don't teach their children how to behave in public.

Also, Amanda, my fiance' dislikes children, so your statement is further just an uninformed statement of assholery.

Um... Dude.  It was an APPLEBEES.

First off, if you take a date to Applebees, you're lucky to get a disinterested handjob in the car afterwards.

Second, it's not like you were at the Four Seasons.  You're at a place where the menu items have words like "fiesta" and "mega-platter" in them; where they still use the word "oriental" to describe a salad; where "all you can eat" is used as an marketing tactic.

I don't live under any illusion of Applebees being a quality restaurant.  It's Denny's or IHOP, with shit on the walls.  But they take our college's meal plan, and since our landlady has yet to deliver on her promise of bringing in a plumber to repair our kitchen (which has been fucked since we moved in) it's the only place we can really afford to go, that prepares anything that even remotely resembles a steak.




But hell, since I'm not four-seasons (or even 4-Star) restaurant material I guess I'll go back to my trailer park and order some pizza hut and watch me some wrasslin'

Every time I see the title of this thread, I keep thinking it's going to be a rant about kids blasting "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" around their neighborhood.

My point being, of course, that your expectations of the atmostphere and of the other clientele should be more in line with the type of place you're dining at.

honestly, my expectations were exactly for what happened.  My rant wasn't about how the place did not live up to my expectations, just me venting frustration.  I'm not SURPRISED by the situation, merely annoyed.

And in this town, even a 5 star restaurant would be populated by toothless adults with a 4th grade reading level.  Sadly that is par for the course in the Mohawk Valley.

Um.

And?
